CoCubesCut-Off and Marking Scheme

There is no fixed cut-off based marking scheme for the CoCubes employability test. Different employers use the test results of CoCubes PRE-ASSESS test as per their requirements. However, the most common method used is Angoff Analysis. Under this marking scheme, for each question, approximate accuracy rate is determined on the basis of level of difficulty/past data for that question. Thereafter, an average is taken across questions to compute the overall accuracy rate. The final result in percentage terms becomes the cut-off.

For instance: E.g. if 5 questions have an expected accuracy of 30%, 10 questions have an expected accuracy of 50% and 5 questions have an expected accuracy of 75%, then the overall cutoff will be (5*30% + 10*50% + 5*75%)/20 = 51.25%
